Book a table at La Machine
We take bookings from 8 guests. Fewer than that, no need to book: just come along.
You make your request right here, in a minute.
Three ways to book
A guaranteed room
This is private hire: La Lodge or Le Boudoir is yours for the evening, at the minimum spend of our private party price list — La Lodge (20 guests) from €300, Le Boudoir (30 guests) from €480, VAT included.
“Let me know three days ahead”
You sign up for a date. If a room is still free three days before, we write to everyone signed up for that date, in the order they signed up: the first to confirm with their card gets it, with no minimum spend.
Your request
In detail
A table in the bar
On Fridays and Saturdays: up to 15 guests, arrival by 10:30 pm at the latest, and no more than two tables a night.
Sunday to Thursday: no limit on the number of tables.
On Fridays and Saturdays, groups of 16 to 20 cannot have a table in the bar: choose a guaranteed room or the waiting list.
A guaranteed room
It is not a sum on top of the bar: everything your guests drink comes off it, including what they pay for themselves, and we invoice the difference only if the room drinks less.
Payment and cancellation terms are those of a private hire; we set them out with the quote.
“Let me know three days ahead”
You can combine both: keep your table in the bar, and move to a room if one frees up.
Three days or less: last minute
From three days before the date, a room that has not been booked for private hire is offered with no minimum spend. La Lodge first; Le Boudoir if your group is too large for La Lodge or if it is already taken.

Frequently asked questions
Do we need to book for fewer than 8?
No. Below 8 guests we do not take bookings: just come along.

Can we cancel?
Yes, free of charge up to 12 hours before, for a table in the bar as for last minute. The same goes for reducing numbers.

Book it as a private hire, at the minimum spend of the price list: La Lodge from €300, Le Boudoir from €480, VAT included.
